Split Airport is, after Zagreb Airport, the most important in Croatia. Scheduled services fly to major European cities, with summer charter flights from more. The airport is about 25 km west from Split, near the city of Trogir. Buses run direct from the terminal to the waterfront for 30kn (June 2006), but a cheaper option is to take the frequent local buses stopping on the road outside the terminal. Bus number 37 runs approximately every 30 minutes to Split (you purchase tickets from a conductor on the bus). Bus 37 does not take you directly to the historic centre of Split and you must change buses to number 9 or 10. The conducter is generally helpful. A shuttle bus run by Pleso Transport Company operates between the airport and the city center, but, since the shuttle bus operates according to Croatia Airlines flight schedule, it is only convenient if you are arriving/departing with Croatia Airlines flight. A single ticket cost 30kn (about 4eur).

Taxis will also take you into town.

If leaving Split by plane, be careful to plan the journey to the airport in advance, as local buses stop running fairly early in the day, and the direct airport buses only run every 90 minutes before particular flights.

Split Airport receives a lot of flights during the summer.
